Jessica Marie Holtzinger, a 15-year-old female from Phoenix, Arizona, was last seen on March 18, 2026. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, she was reported missing from Phoenix and the Phoenix Police Department was identified as the investigating agency. Public information about the disappearance places her last known whereabouts in the Phoenix area, with a later missing-person notice providing more specific details that she was last seen at approximately 9:00 p.m. near 27th Street and Roosevelt. At the time, she was described as approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and a scar on her forehead. She was reportedly wearing a green or brown long-sleeve shirt and purple sweatpants.
The circumstances surrounding Jessica's disappearance were not extensively detailed in the public notices.
The information released by Missing No More stated that this was not the first time Jessica had been reported missing. During an earlier disappearance in 2024, she had reportedly been missing for about a month before she was found. That previous incident received substantial attention in the Phoenix community, with family members, teachers, volunteers, and search personnel participating in efforts to locate her. FOX 10 Phoenix reported that Jessica had previously disappeared from the same general area around 27th Street and Roosevelt when she was 13, and that she was ultimately found safe. The 2024 search demonstrated the concern surrounding her whereabouts and the involvement of people close to her in efforts to bring her home.
When Jessica was reported missing again in March 2026, her age was 15, and the circumstances prompted another effort to bring attention to her disappearance. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children published a missing-child poster identifying her by her full name, Jessica Marie Holtzinger, listing her as a 15-year-old female missing from Phoenix and providing the Phoenix Police Department as the agency to contact with information. The NCMEC record gives March 18, 2026 as the date she went missing and assigns the case an NCMEC identification number. The public record does not provide a detailed account of what Jessica was doing immediately before she disappeared, where she intended to go, whether she was believed to have left voluntarily, or what specific investigative steps were undertaken after her disappearance. Those gaps leave much of the chronology unavailable in publicly accessible sources.
The subsequent status of the 2026 disappearance is important because a later public listing from Missing No More identifies Jessica's case under its "FOUND" category. That listing, published in early April and subsequently updated, retains the March 18 last-seen information but no longer presents the case as an unresolved search for her whereabouts. The publicly available listing does not provide a detailed account of when, where, or under what circumstances she was located, nor does it explain the condition in which she was found. It also does not provide details about what happened during the period between her disappearance and her location. Because those particulars have not been publicly documented in the sources reviewed, the circumstances of her recovery remain largely private.
Jessica's story is therefore one involving a second reported disappearance from the Phoenix area after an earlier episode that had also generated an extensive community search. Her March 18, 2026 disappearance placed a 15-year-old girl at the center of another missing-child investigation, with her last known location reported near 27th Street and Roosevelt and identifying information circulated through national and local missing-person resources. Although the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children record continues to display the original missing-child information, a later public case listing identifies Jessica as found, indicating that the search for her whereabouts was ultimately brought to a close. The public record provides limited detail about the intervening events, but the overall case reflects Jessica's disappearance on March 18, 2026, the renewed efforts to locate her, and her subsequent reported recovery.Last Seen: Mar 18, 2026
